Subject: Palestinian Country Code


According to a recent issue of the {Economist}, the recent agreement
between Israel and the PLO in setting up a "Palestinian Authority" in
the Gaza strip and the Jericho area includes provisions that allow the
Authority to issue postage stamps and to use a separate telephone
country code.  Does anyone know if the ITU has issued the new code
yet, and if so, what number was used?  The country code list for Zone
9 (which includes Israel, Jordan, etc.) in the Telecom archives shows
that 970, 978 and 979 are currently vacant, so I suspect that it will
be one of those.

Also, are any details yet available about the internal numbering space
that will exist within the new country code (i.e., what area codes and
local numbers will look like)?  I note that Jericho, along with
Jerusalem and lots of the West Bank, is currently part of area code 2
in Israel; will Jericho lines still be dialable as Israeli numbers
too?  (I can't find any listing for Gaza in the current Israel listing.)

I was recently going over the phone options for the Lexus GS300, and
noticed that the phone system Lexus offers is a Motorola -- basically a
souped-up AlphaTac. When installed by a Lexus dealer, the phone
integrates with the stereo system and the AC to mute the stereo, lower
the AC, and allow conversations to be held over the car's audio system.
My question is, can my Motorola DPC550 handheld be integrated into
this system, or are there special "hooks" in the Lexus-specific phone?

Subject: New (Lame) Directory Assistance From GTE Mobilnet (Bay Area)


So, I'm at a Golden Gate Transit bus stop on Harrison and Third street
trying to go meet a friend in Santa Rosa ... there's no schedule
posted, and no phone number on the shelter. I extract my handy dandy
cellfone and dial '411' and ask for the number for Golden Gate
Transit. The lady who answers the phone answers with "GTE <someservice-
markhere> can I help you?". Apparently she couldn't because she could
not find a number for Golden Gate Transit in SF ... then I remember
this bill insert which gave information on this "new service."

I asked if I could get connected to the real information operator, and
I was informed that *6543 would work.  *6543 did indeed work, and I
got the number on the first try.

Moral of the story: to use GTE's new gimmicky directory assistance dial 411
or 555 1212 ... to get the real stuff dial *6543. Your mileage may vary,
especially outside the Bay Area.

[TELECOM Digest Editor's Note: Henry, a question and a comment: exactly
what does this *6543 hook get you into?  You said 'new, gimmicky directory
assistance' which leads me to wonder, did not GTE offer directory assist-
ance like any other telco until recently, i.e. 'new'?. Is the cellular
division of the company offering a new service and intercepting calls to
411 or 555-1212 which formerly had gone to a full directory bureau and
providing some limited sub-set of the directory?

My comment is that as a fine example of how telco service has gotten worse
since divestiture, there was a time, until maybe a decade ago when the
information operators *memorized* the 'top twenty' inquiries and did not
have to look for them at all. The airline and bus schedule information
numbers, the utility companies, city hall; all those were on the tip of
her tongue. So if you asked (for example) for the number for bus schedules
she would *instantly* reply, "eight three six seven thousand". The next
twenty or thirty 'often requested numbers' after the 'top twenty' were on
an index card at her position that she could glance at. It was only after
you got beyond that group of a few dozen numbers people were always asking
about that she had to actually use the directory.  Generally all the oper-
ators -- not just the directory operators -- knew the 'top twenty' by heart
so a person who dialed the zero operator for assistance could also be
immediatly connected. That's how it *used* to be.     PAT]

-US COMPANIES TAKE STAKE IN SOUTH KOREAN MOBILE TELCO

TWW-12 May 1994-US COMPANIES TAKE STAKE IN SOUTH KOREAN MOBILE TELCO

TELECOMWORLDWIRE--(C) 1994 M2 COMMUNICATIONS LTD

SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA- Four US companies have been selected to take a
shareholding in South Korea's second mobile phone system -- now called
Shinsegi Mobile Telecom Co Ltd.  Pacific Telesis (PacTel) is to take a
10 percent holding, along with Southwestern Bell (7%), GTE Corp (4%)
and Qualcomm Inc (1.2%). The combined foreign stake is slightly more
than the 20.2 percent planned by the Federation of Korean Industries
(FKI), who co-ordinated the complex arrangements of appointing
national and international shareholders. The key South Korean
shareholders are the Pohang Iron and Steel Co (POSCO) with a 15
percent stake, Kolon Industries Co Ltd with 14 percent and around 240
local firms making up the remainder of minority shareholders. The
formation of the second mobile phone consortium closes a very
controversial -- and newsworthy -- chain of events which saw the
Sunkyong Group chosen to lead the contract, but this was abandoned
after charges of nepotism were made because the son of Sunkyong's
chairman is married to the daughter of ex-President Roh Tae-woo.
Sunkyong made a second bid, but later withdrew it after winning a 23
percent share of Korea Mobile Telecom Corp, operators of the existing
mobile network.

Do you have a limit on the number telephone IDs :) that you are allow

Sure.  There are indeed modems that will detect VOICE and do indeed
respond with VOICE.  Check in c.d.modems to be sure, but I believe
that it's mostly the highend Hayes' and I believe the US Robotics Dual
Standards which provide this feature.  I have a ZyXEL with old ROMs

I finally got a "solution" to this, which I've been wanting as well.
(Note that this is not a perfect solution, but you can make it work.)
Use the shareware program Blaster Master to load the .WAV, then save
it as a .VOC file.  Use the VCNVT program (see the ZyXEL FTP site, I
think, or their BBS) to convert the .VOC to the 3-bit ADPCM format.
This worked for me. (Blaster Master is a neat program, you can combine
and otherwise manipulate files to come up with really outrageous
nonsense, as long as you have a good supply of Monty Python and Star
Trek .WAV files ... <grin>. You can FTP it from the SimTel archives, if
I remember correctly, but I don't recall what directory in the
SimTel/msdos tree.)

Subject: Texas Gets Caller ID

Organization: Real/Time Communications - Bob Gustwick and Associates


Texas finally has Caller ID.  It has been available in Austin, the
first area, for a couple of months.  It was held up for reasons laid
out in the previous postings and the state wire-tap law.

A card came in my Southwestern Bell phone bill asking if I wanted
per-line blocking.  It was stated that I needed a compelling reason to
have per-line blocking but did not have to state that reason to the
phone company. In reality this means anyone can have per-line blocking.

I read in the local newspaper that only 2% of local residents signed
up for per-line blocking.  I have never received a call yet by a blocked
number.

A service which was mandated in Texas was called Anonymous call
rejection.  This only costs 50 cents extra.  Anonymous call rejection
enables someone with or without Caller ID to block all blocked calls.
In other words if someone calls me and has pressed *67 or has per-line
blocking, they will receive a recording indicating that I am not
accepting blocked calls provided that I have the ACR service turned on.

My only problem so far has been the number of "out of area" calls I
receive from cellular and out of town numbers.  My understanding is
that within the next year, long distance carriers will be required to
send the Caller ID signal.

Caller ID is supposed to be available in Houston (713) and San Antonio
(210) later this year.  It will be available in the Dallas/Ft. Worth
area (214/817) early next year.

I have a network here with two Windows machines, a Unix machine, and a
couple of routers.  They're all really on the Internet -- ping
tom.iecc.com if you want to say hi to a Windows laptop on the net.
Ping xuxa.iecc.com and astrud.iecc.com to say hi to two antique 286
boxes routing packets through a wireless Ethernet, my link to the
outside.

You probably want to provide services such as FTP to outside users.
You can in fact do this with Windows machines (you can FTP to tom as
well) although Windows is not a terribly robust server platform.
Windows server software exists for many popular services such as
Gopher, finger, and WWW as well as for DNS, the system that manages
Internet host names.

If you want a robust server, you are indeed better off running Unix,
which works very nicely on a 386 or better PC.  It's cheaper than DOS,
too.

For an introduction to setting up an Internet node, I'd suggest "The
Internet Connection" by John Quarterman and Smoot Carl-Mitchell,
Addison-Wesley, ISBN 0-201-54237-4.

For a general introduction to the Internet, I shamelessly recommend
"The Internet for Dummies", IDG, 1-56884-024-1, which now seems to be
the overall best selling Internet book.  I think it's one of the
finest books ever written in the English language, but since I wrote
it I may be biased.
